There's a lot I could tell you but dare say it may be a bit boring so I'll try to cut to the chase, so to speak! I appreciated your comment Rob that we may have heard enough about BOXing .... not wrong! We've made incredible progress tho, I reckon, with all boxes unpacked apart from in the study and sewing room and the pot plants .... but those plant ones will need to be done this morning to make room for our new stuff to be delivered .... we went to Mitre 10 yesterday, to buy a reject door for Dad to use for a desk (on 2 2 drawer filing cabinets, like in Loxton) and got just a little carried away! Today they will deliver our new BBQ, and our new patio heater, and our new outdoor setting of table and 6 chairs .... well I SAID we got carried away!! Oh and they'll bring the door, too! It was kinda fun! Before we went there I also bought a new very nice office chair to replace that dreadful old ripped red vinyl one, and I'm finding it very comfortable here at my computer! Dad decided to leave my old monitor in Ltn for the dump, and my new larger one is so much clearer .... I like it!!
Our new home here is lovely and we'll be very comfortable, once we get some more cupboards! There are lots of lovely bookshelves in the family room, and there are built ins wardrobes in spare rooms, and broom cupboard and linen press, but all only half the size of the ones we had!! And one of the glitches in our moving was that the wardrobe Dad wanted in his study for storing stuff wouldn't fit around the corner into the room! So he's now got the linen press that was my fabric cupbd and the bookshelf that was in the spare room! So I'm hoping we can go this morning and buy the linen press and bookshelf we saw in Victor Furniture yesterday, for my sewing room!
Anyway, that's enough for now! I'm anticipating that we'll have a barbie for tea next Wed, before the Induction Service ..... but dare say you'll hear more before then! It will be good to see you all down here soon!! By the way ..... it's occurred to me that Dad will be starting work Thursday, after the service Wed night, so if those of you who'll be staying wanted to come earlier rather than just Wed, that would be good!! Love you all! Mum

Mmm... we had a slight glitch with the delivery... They didn't bring our gas cylinder. they have some more in one of the 10 pallets of stuff they got in from the warehouse, but won't get to them today, so will be delivered tomorrow afternoon... when they will take our patio heater back, coz it is too tall for our area here. oops!
I will still be able to have some fun putting the bbq together... wait for more updates on this!!
Mmm look forward to the steak! And glad it's going well ;)
.... well the plain simple table has taken him two hours to put together, and they said to allow "an hour" for the BBQ .... so I'm not holding my breath for BBQ tea tonight!! ... by teh way .... the table and chairs are VERY nice!
(anonymous up there was Dad!)
Hmmm Steak on saturday lunch also?? LOL ;)
Not sure if we will have the new wheels by then as Rob is a little unorganised with organising the car paperwork - its his first time that it all has to be done by him - as its in his name only, so might not get the car until next week now :(
Shame about the heater, that would have come in handy!
Really glad that its all coming together for you now, and that its starting to feel more like home rather than a new shell :)
